Sorry my pasting efforts went astray. I included the emerge info stuff twice and didn't include the link to the xfree bug report. Here it is http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=991 Also this bug could be related to bug 46392 thanks I've added a fix for the crashing bug in xorg-x11-6.7.0, which is the supported upgrade path from xfree-4.3.0. I'd prefer you also test with that. ok will take a little to compile on my test machine I tested xorg-x11. It works fine. I also ran the testsuite from openi18n.org. It stated that all the UTF-8 locales that should be supported by X were. So I think this issue is dealt with. I was a bit unclear though if you had done anything to patch xfree86 or not? thanks The idea here is to avoid introducing new bugs inadvertantly into a stable ebuild, so instead we fix the new ebuild while it's in testing (xorg-x11). So no, 4.3.0-r5 won't be getting a fix. If you feel like testing 4.3.0-r6 you're welcome to do so and let me know how it goes -- I'd be happy to add a contributed patch to that to fix the issue you're having. I am happy to test xfree-4.3.0-r6. Just let me know when it's ready for testing. Now. This is fixed in xorg-x11, and that's the supported upgrade path. I don't plan to change anything more in xfree, as much as possible. |
